Zoos

There’s some wild stuff going on in Tulsa, particularly at the Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum, voted America’s Favorite Zoo by Microsoft Game Studios (2005). Located in Tulsa’s 2,800-acre Mohawk Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the country, the Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum features more than 1,500 animals representing 436 species. Animal exhibits include the Giraffe Experience, the Chimpanzee Connection, the Penguin Exhibit, and the Helmerich Sea Lion Cove. You and the kids can travel around this exquisite 84-acre animal kingdom on a quaint, turn-of-the-century train. And it’s wet and wild at the Oklahoma Aquarium, where you can get up close to the largest bull shark in captivity through a one-of-a-kind walk-through tunnel, and enjoy eight exhibit galleries featuring thousands of saltwater and freshwater fish and animals.
